Exploration of resonances by analytic continuation in the coupling constant

The energy and the width of resonance states are determined by analytic continuation of bound-state energies as a function of the coupling constant (potential strength). The advantage of the method is that the existing techniques for calculation of bound states can be applied, without any modifications, to determine the position of resonances. Various numerical examples show the applicability of the method for three-body systems, including the excited states of the $^6$He and $^6$Li.
